:38:01
to Jeanette White, Dennis White's wife...
:38:04
"What do you care? He's only a drifter."
:38:11
I grew up in a family...
:38:12
where I was taught a great respect
for law enforcement.

:38:16
I became acutely aware of the dangers...
:38:19
that police officers go through,
law enforcement officials go through...

:38:23
that I think much of the public
is not really sensitive to.

:38:29
My father was an FBI man.
:38:30
Probably at the worst possible time
to be in the FBI.

:38:33
It was from 1932 to 1935 in Chicago.
:38:38
He was at the Biograph Theater
the night that Dillinger was killed.

:38:45
It was a hot summer evening.
Little air conditioning in Chicago...

:38:49
and people were out for a walk.
:39:06
My father would tell me
that when Dillinger was killed...

:39:09
within a matter of two minutes...
:39:11
people were dipping their
handkerchiefs in the blood...

:39:14
to get souvenirs.
:39:15
And he vividly remembered one lady...
:39:17
who, all she had was a newspaper,
held it up and said:

:39:21
"I bet I'm the only lady from Kansas
City with John Dillinger's blood."

:39:29
He told me, the "Woman in Red"...
:39:32
she had on an orange dress.
This is trivia, okay?

:39:35
It looked red under the lights.
He said it was really orange.

:39:38
So she got to be known as the
"Lady in Red" that fingered Dillinger.

:39:41
He said, "It was really the Lady in Orange."
:39:45
As her reward, she got a new fur coat...
:39:48
and a one-way ticket
back to her native Romania.

:39:59
His whole story
from the start was two hours late.
